Chapter 2336 Chaxi’s Challenge
*************************************************** *************************************************
Originally, I was going to stop Rasuk from doing this, but something moved in my heart and I stopped. I endured the embarrassment and uneasiness and allowed Rasuk to finish kowtowing his head.
"Uncle Rasuk, what are you doing? It's not you begging me now, but I want to beg Qiaxi." Then, I couldn't help but help him up and sighed.
"Wu Guo, it doesn't matter even if someone without talent inherits it, right? In that case, even if you inherit it yourself, no, you probably don't have the energy. Even if you find someone else to inherit it, it's totally fine. You have to hold on to the blacksmith. My idiot daughter is not the only one with such enthusiasm.”
Rasuk knew in his heart how rare it was for his daughter to have this opportunity, all because the druid in front of him nodded. Otherwise, any cat or dog would be better than his daughter.
But what about his idiot daughter? She likes to yearn for becoming an excellent blacksmith, but she avoids this opportunity. Of course, as a blacksmith, she is not completely unable to understand her daughter's mood, and she wants to use her own efforts instead of being a pie in the world.
However, how can there be such a perfect thing in this world? People always have to learn to make certain compromises and lose other things for the sake of some things. That is called real life. The perfect life is not called life, but a fictional story.
Moreover, the daughter with this innocent idea never had another reason to escape, which was fear, fear that Rukogas would inherit the expectations and responsibilities that came with it. Thinking of this, Rasuk became very angry. Why did I give birth to such a bastard daughter? This can be regarded as not afraid of hardship. A savage who never lacks courage?
"Although I say this, among all the blacksmiths, the one I am most familiar with is Chaxi, and he is the one I trust the most. Uncle Rasuk, you also know. This inheritance is very important. Since Lord Lukogas said The talent factor can be ignored, so the next selection criterion must be people's hearts. If someone with evil intentions is selected, it will not only be a loss for the alliance, but it may also be a disaster."
"That's true. When it comes to people's hearts, I still have some confidence in my useless idiot daughter. Although she is clumsy, she is definitely not bad-hearted and will never do anything wrong in the future."
As Rasuk said, he kept nodding and showing a confident expression, as if Qiaxi had such an advantage that made him happy.
"So, Rasuk, you don't have to ask me at all. This is not a favor I gave to Qiaxi, but she is indeed the most suitable candidate in my mind. At best, it can only be regarded as mutual benefit."
"This is different." Rasuk waved his hand: "Whether you are a favor to Qiaxi or a mutual benefit has nothing to do with me. That is a matter between you and Qiaxi. I beg you, it is a matter between me and you. , because I hope you can give my idiot daughter a little more time and opportunity before I decide to do this."
Seeing the stubborn look on Rasuk's face, I finally saw his true nature as a barbarian, and I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
"But..." The conversation changed and Rasuk showed a bitter face: "But Mr. Wu, I hope you won't push Qiaxi too hard. I know that my request is a bit too much. I beg you to grant Qiaxi's wish." , and at the same time, I want you not to push too hard."
Probably because he had never made such an excessive request before, Rasuk's big face was a little hot and red: "My stupid daughter is a bit softer and indecisive. In addition to her firm yearning for the blacksmith, she also has a good heart. Other than that, there are almost no advantages that can be gained, so if you push her too hard, she might get into trouble again..."
"Uncle Rasuk, you didn't say that before. Are you frightened by the fact that Qiaxi ran away from home for two years?" I looked at this big barbarian with a funny face.
"Who... who said that? As a blacksmith, who has not traveled abroad for decades, I am not worried about my idiot daughter at all." As expected, Rasuk, who was very arrogant towards his daughter, denied it.
"It's just..." The chin sank slightly, and a look of doting quickly flashed in the eyes of this tall and tough barbarian blacksmith: "It's just that, after all, she is my Rasuk's daughter, and I know her better."
Seeing Rasuk like this, I resonated in my heart. He is a good father who can give everything for his daughter.
"Don't worry, Uncle Rasuk, I promise you, I will stick to it and wait until Qiaxi agrees or explicitly refuses."
"Thank you, Mr. Wu."
Knowing that this is already my biggest leniency condition, if Qiaxi firmly refuses, then no matter how hard he and I try, it will be in vain. Rasuk's eyes were slightly red when he was moved, he lowered his head and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said with Xue Ye Covering the moisture in your eyes.
"It's a bit windy here. I'm confused. I'll go back to the house first. Don't stay any longer." After saying that, Rasuk, who didn't want me to see the tears in his eyes, hurriedly turned around and left. .
Watching Rasuk's back disappear, I turned around and looked quietly at the snowy night scene of the peaceful Harrogas city. The blurred outlines of the tall stone houses looked like sleeping beasts, but there was no trace of them. Unexpectedly, it gives people a feeling of extra peace of mind, as if the entire city is guarded by these giant beasts.
Until a figure who had been standing behind the wall for a long time walked out and came to my side. He raised his head and stared blankly at the dark night sky with me.
"I'm sorry. I promised Uncle Rasuk not to rush you, but it seems that he violated it at the same time." After a moment, I said to the person who came to me.
After a moment of silence, Qiaxi's face faintly emerged from the glimmer of light. She looked dazed and didn't know what she was thinking.
"My father taught me more than once. As a proud barbarian, I only kowtow three times in my life. One is for our clan, the other is for our clan and the heroes who saved our clan, and the third is for our relatives and ancestors."
After a pause, Qiaxi continued with a confused expression: "But since I was a child, in my eyes, my father's spine has always been straight, standing upright and never bent for anyone."
I didn't speak. Just listen to Qiaxi silently. Perhaps what she needs now is a kind of catharsis.
"Elder Fan, am I too naive?"
"My father told me that there is no perfect dream in this world. If you want to get something, you must consider what you want to get. What you must give first, rather than just asking for it."
"I didn't quite understand before, why you have to lose what you gained. Maybe it was because at that time, I didn't have much pursuit, and naturally I didn't think about gains and losses. It wasn't until the past two years that I seriously considered this issue. I was cowardly. I wonder whether I can face the reality of life like my father and everyone else."
After another long silence, Qiaxi suddenly asked: "Elder Fan, what is your dream?"
There was no way I could stop talking. I thought about it and said deeply: "World peace."
"Did you gain or lose from the battle with the Hell Clan?"
"Having both, it was a loss for me at the beginning. I don't want to fight, and I don't want to be a heroic savior. It would be great if I could live a comfortable life. Who wants to fight?" Looking at the night sky , I sighed helplessly, the life of just eating and waiting for death seemed to be getting further and further away from me.
"However, if it were not for the battle with the Hell Clan, I would not have met Vilas and the others. In the process of losing, I also gained something precious. Losing and gaining are not just a result, but a result. A process, a process of constant alternation and repetition. In this process, some people gain a lot, and some people lose a lot. The future is unpredictable, and sorrows and joys cannot be completely avoided. But no matter whether it is a gain or a loss, the only thing that cannot be done is to stop. Stop moving forward, that’s life.”
"That's right. So, if I've been running away, am I standing still? I'm very cowardly and incompetent. Why would Elder Fan still choose me?"
"I have already explained the reason to your father. Moreover, although you escaped, you did not stand still. It is human nature to hesitate a little longer in the face of a major turning point in life, and..."
"And what?"
I hesitated. Would it make Qiaxi feel more confused if I said it? I just promised Rasuk not to rush her or put pressure on her. Isn't it good to go back on my promise again and again?
However, facing Qiaxi’s pleading eyes as if a child was lost in the darkness and finally saw a light, I couldn’t help but say something.
"Besides, I don't think you are completely escaping. Why did you choose to travel? Why do you work ten times harder than before to train yourself? The real escape should be to hide in a bar and get drunk and forget all your worries. Yes, aren’t you really trying to prove something, or rather, you made such a choice because of an incomprehensible desire deep in your heart?”
"Prove...desire?" Qiaxi murmured and looked down at her hands.
"Perhaps, the answer has actually taken root in your heart a long time ago. What you are avoiding is not the gains and losses, but the answer." Turning to face Qiaxi, I patted her on the shoulder. I passed her and returned to the house.
I've said too much and put too much pressure on Qiaxi. I hope Rasuk won't get angry and drag me to a real-person PK.
Princess Sanwu and Aiwaer and I slept luxuriously one night on a huge wooden bed that could accommodate six or seven people sleeping side by side. I got up energetically early the next morning and looked out the window. A rare sunny day.
"Uncle Rasuk, good morning... Hey, where is the person?"
I found this family outside the house, but found that the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"Elder Fan, you came just in time. My idiot daughter suddenly went crazy and wanted to compete with her bastard father." Aunt Rasuk said, rubbing her forehead with a headache.
"What happened? Why did it become like this." I was shocked. When I saw Rasuk and Qiaxi standing in front of the forge, I realized that I had misunderstood Aunt Rasuk's words. It turned out that this The competition between father and daughter is not their fighting prowess, but their blacksmithing skills.
"I won't bully you either. Everyone uses a simple forge and forging platform. If you can make half the equipment that I remember...no, one-tenth of the equipment that I do, you will win."
Rasuk held the hammer and pointed it at Qiaxi. At this time, in his eyes risking the soul of a blacksmith, the Qiaxi in front of him was no longer his daughter, but his opponent.
In other words, this guy has no intention of holding back.
"Please forgive me, father, and please don't show mercy no matter what." Qiaxi bowed slightly. The panicked eyes quickly became firm.
"I'm hungry. I'm going to make breakfast." Aunt Rasuk, who looked like she had a headache just now, suddenly yawned, as if she just saw a daily scene.
"Aren't you going to stop them?" I said quickly.
"Forget it, let her go. Instead of letting that idiot daughter continue to be trapped in the quagmire. It's better to let her go crazy for a while. Maybe it will be some kind of opportunity."
Aunt Rasuk may be tall, but she is as careful as hair. This is what she said. It made me nod.
Immediately afterwards, for a whole morning, the outside of the house was filled with the sound of clanging hammers. Qiaxi, who was struggling, and Rasuk, who did not intend to stay behind, both wanted to produce the best results, which naturally took a lot of time. more time.
"How long will it take to complete?" As a last resort, I had to ask Aunt Rasuk for advice. I have to go back today.
"I don't think it's that fast, and one fight probably won't make that idiot daughter wake up. There may be many times and it will last for many days." Aunt Rasuk, who is the wife and mother of both sides of the contest, is very sure. said.
Then, the considerate aunt looked at me and said, "Elder Fan, you have a lot to do, so don't waste time waiting here. Just go and do what you have to do. Don't delay the business and wait for these idiots." After the father and daughter end their farce, I will ask Qiaxi to find you."
"Can I really leave now?" I looked at the smell of gunpowder over there with a little uneasiness. The atmosphere was just like the four-year-old special chef showdown in a smell-fighting arena.
Although Qiaxi is an obedient girl, and Uncle Rasuk is also rough and calm, but seeing the current tense atmosphere is really uneasy.
"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as I'm here to watch, these two idiots won't cause any big trouble." The aunt patted me on the shoulder to reassure me.
Well, it seems you can rest assured.
Looking at the legs sinking a foot into the ground, I felt how scary Aunt Rasuk was, and suddenly I wanted to pray for Rasuk and Qiaxi. Please, don’t anger Auntie, otherwise they will both die. .
With one final look back, I left Lasuk's house resolutely and embarked on the teleportation array to return to the Horadric tribe in the second world. After a dizzying teleportation, I returned from the snow-capped mountains to the center of the hot desert. , the sourness of sudden cold and sudden heat is unbelievable.
"Fanfan~~~" hasn't returned to Princess Beiya's nest yet... Well, it's too troublesome to call her this way. From now on, she might as well just call her Beiya's nest or Yatou's nest. She hasn't returned to Beiya's nest yet. Feeling When I came back, Tia had already greeted me and gave me a big hug, which made me feel the heat of the desert and the enthusiasm of the desert girl.
"Tch, I didn't get lost in the turbulence of space. This is not magic." Benzina smacked her lips behind Tia, letting me see clearly.
"I'm not lost. This doesn't look like stupid Wu at all. Could it be that the person in front of me is a fake?" Beiya also looked exaggeratedly shocked.
"Your Highness, please don't say such rude words. I can guarantee that the person in front of me is undoubtedly Your Highness." At this time, the pornographic maid stood up and spoke for me, which moved me instantly.
Sure enough, at the critical moment, his woman is still good to him.
"Look, besides His Royal Highness, who else can give people such a strong feeling of a mortal? He is obviously dressed up like a mysterious master, but he just exudes the aura of a weakling and looks like he is easy to bully. Even if he is Even ordinary people can't do it." After a pause, the maidservant Huang Duanzi pointed at me seriously and commented.
I'm tired, I feel like I can't love anymore.
Back to Beiya's nest, I briefly told everyone what happened in Qiaxi, lest some guys, especially Beiya and Benzina with ulterior motives, create strange rumors behind their backs.
As night fell, after dinner, Tia mysteriously held an arm full of papers and announced the results of her day.
"what are these?"
"Fanfan, guess what?"
"Uh...could it be that the design drawings of our statues are not there?" I joked, but Tia's beautiful eyes widened immediately with a surprised expression of "My Fanfan can't be that smart".
It's really rude, I can pretend to be a smart person occasionally.
"It really is?"
"That's right, it's the result of Granny Cressina's and the others' hard work over the past few days and nights." As she said that, Dia stopped being pretentious and put out this stack of ten extended editions of Duke of Beasts with the author's remarks. Papers are placed on the table.
"Let me see, let me see." In the end, it was not me who was most anxious, but girl Tia. Benzina probably knew about it, but she also joined in with great interest. The smell of conspiracy was strong, and in the end even Ai Wa'er also Come up and join in the fun, and you can already interact with other girls
Exchange a few words from time to time, this is a good sign...

Everyone probably knows the reason why there was no update yesterday. Xiaoqi will not explain more. In one sentence, it will be completed in three updates.
ps: I was very angry at first and wanted to publish a single chapter again to angrily fuck my mother, but the collection of cute wolf paintings I bought on Double Eleven arrived unexpectedly. I was satisfied with this book, so I gave it up this time.
